Chapter One

I sit on top of a hard cold storage unit, hidden by shadows. It's around midnight and the weather is starting to get colder, but my jacket shields me. Hand made by Donnie, it is black lether with white and black, striped cloth sleeves. My long black leggings put on under my jean shorts hug my legs tightly, protecting them from the hard surface of the unit I'm on top of. My bow is folded on my back next to my quiver, and my dagger rests inside my jacket. My face is covered by the cloth hood and a detachable mouth mask. Wisps of my short red hair leak out of my hood and into my eyes. I absentmindedly wipe them away, and concentrate on the parkking lot that I'm scouting out. My veiw is perfect, my pateince? not so much.

"Donnie, are you sure that this is the right place?" My whisper rings out in this queit place, louder then I'm used too from navigating the New York City streets.

"Yes, Em, the TCRI data banks tell me that the Shredder is coming here." I can hear his annoyance from being asked for the tenth time, hey it's not just me the others are getting inipatient as well, so I don't push him. I look around the docks. I can't see them, but I know they are out there, waiting like I am. We had received info saying something big was gonna go down, so here we were, waiting in the middle of night, at one of the creepiests places in Brooklyn.

"So, we going for pizza after this?" Mickey, always thinking about his stomach. Leo replies

"Sure. Why not?"

"Sorry guys, I'll have to get back before Casey finds out."

"You know Em, youll have to tell him about this sooner or later."

"Yeah, Raph, Ill tell him. In about two years when I turn eighteen and can move somewhere he'll never find me." I roll my eyes and put on my night vision glasses, curtisy of Donnie, scouting the area. They know that this is a touchy subject, Casey doesnt know about my training or me going on missions. He would never let me, even though he goes around in a hockey mask whenever working for the police department isn't good enough for him, I guess I can't blame him as my big brother and sole guardian. But ever since I got my abilities I've felt the need for something more. I mean who wouldn't want to become a teenage kuinoichi trained by mutant turtles? So on the days, or nights, that Casey and April are too busy with their day jobs, I fill in, they just dont knkow that.

Still scouting the area i notice something.

"Guys? I see them." A distinct line of vans are file into the parking lot below me.

"We see them too." I tense up as Shredder himself exites the lead van followed by his right hand woman Karia. We were all silently hoping that he wouldn't show, that he was gone for good, he had been off the grid for a year, ever since we chased the Kraang of the face of the earth. Now we have a chance to find out what he is up to, and maybe put him away for good. I bury my hopes that we would catch him tonight, one of the first lessons you learn as a ninja is to pick your fights, this is a recon mission. He won't be put away that easily.

"Everyone in position?" Leo's voice makes me jump slightly.

"Yeah perfect view." My night vision glasses give everything a green color but its better then pitch black. Dozens of Foot exit the vans, but it is the last one that sends shivers up my spine.

"uhhh..guys? Are you seeing this?"

"Yeah, we see it." Adrenaline sets in as I realize I probably won't be home as soon as I had hoped. This kind of thing needs intervention.

"Soo no pizza tonight?"

"Mickey!" We say almost in sync.

I sigh as the Foot pull for people out of the last van, hands tied behind their backs and bags over their heads. This isnt a meeting or a smuggling or even a drug deal.

This is an execution.
